Answer:

y=2x+7

Explanation:

Hi there!

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

we are given the slope (2), and a point (-3,1)

we can subsitute 2 as m into the equation

y=2x+b

we need to find b

Since the equation will pass through the point (-3,1), you can use it to solve for b.

substitute -3 as x and 1 as y

1=2(-3)+b

multiply

1=-6+b

7=b

therefore the equation of the line is y=2x+7

Hope this helps!
